Product Information

• Name: Covidyte™ EN450
• Brand: Bachem
• Description: Covidyte™ EN450 is a peptide substrate that can be cleaved by coronavirus proteases. The dark-FRET peptide contains Dabcyl (quencher) and Edans (donor) on the N-and C-terminals respectively where the fluorescence of Edans is effectively quenched by Dabcyl when the peptide is intact. When the peptide is hydrolyzed by coronavirus proteases, the Edans fragment generates significantly enhanced fluorescence since its fluorescence is no longer quenched by Dabcyl. The activity of coronavirus proteases can be effectively monitored by the fluorescence intensity of Edans. Covidyte™ EN450 is a convenient tool for screening inhibitors of coronavirus proteases.
